flashlight on tummy making baby move?

Hello Dads. I thought I read on here about some3 of you would shine a light on your wife's tummy and it would make baby move. My question is at what stage in the pregnancy did this start to work? Also does the room have to be totaly dark? Until O read about this on here I have never heard of it. Thanks in advance!

Im 34 weeks...and Iv been even holding my iPhone on full brightness against my tummy and could feel it kick. I'll even play music from my phone and set it on my tummy and he'll wake up and kick :) I think it first started around 26 weeks for me though

Yeah - I'd say the last couple weeks of your second trimester into the first few weeks of your first trimester. And it won't work every time... We've done it both with and without the lights on, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
